Description
The nice hike to the Furka Pass starts in Oberwald. Passing the mountain village Gere, which used to be independent and even had its own jurisdiction, you finally reach Alp Lenges, where the Oberwald cattle graze. From the elongated mountain ridge Bidmer you enjoy a magnificent mountain panorama with the Rhone Glacier and its extensive valley. The path then leisurely leads you through the galleries of Hirschplatten to the Furka Pass height.
IMPORTANT: The Muttbach bridge (military road Furka Pass towards Tälligrat) can no longer be crossed due to climate change (the foundations of the bridge are shifting). However, a small detour marked with rock cairns can be found on site - so it is possible to cross the creek.
